The Crafty Musings of Heather, Ida, and Sarah

CSI KAL Donor: Stitched by Jessalu

October31

This week I’m introducing Jess from Stitched by Jessalu!

Please introduce yourself; Tell us about who you are, and what are you donating.

Hi! My name is Jessica and I am the one-woman force behind Stitched by JessaLu. I make project bags for knitters and spinners and sell them at craft shows an in my online shops at Etsy and Artfire. I am donating a project bag!

Tell us about your shop. What kinds of products do you sell and what makes them awesome?

I sell box bags, spindle bags, bucket bags and notions pouches – they are awesome because I make them on a 1936 Singer 15-91 sewing machine in my home that was built around the time of the Revolutionary War in Western Massachusetts. I line all my bags with coordinating fun fabrics, too! For example, the pig bags have bacon inside!

Which is your favorite sock in the Crafty Detour CSI collection and why?

Desi Myna – they just look so soft and squishy!

What do you think is the most heinous of knitting related crimes?

Acrylic yarn? ;o)

What was the last knitted project that you completed?

My Abigail Sweater – I’ve worn it since but need to do pictures to update my Ravelry Queue!

What is on your needles now?

A Girasole blanket that I am knitting out of yarn dyed for me as a wedding gift from Karin of The Periwinkle Sheep – now I just need to find more time to knit so I can finish it before winter!

Thank you, Jessica!

Heather, Ida, and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Knit-a-While, Sairy Knits, and Digitalnabi come together to provide a three part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Ida is a knitter, foodie, freelance editor and author, and the publisher of Knitting Purls. She is apparently addicted to blogging. You can follow her on Knit-a-While, The Thinking Knitter, and The Evolving Sock Knitter.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005.  Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
